North Carolina Republicans introduced a bill to ban participation trophies for children

*Ahem*

Time to ban your other participation trophies then.

@flexghost

How civilized people look at the Confederate flag

@ShieldHero85 @flexghost

Weird, my version involves a lot more fire and shouting.

@flexghost way down south, where snakes, alligators, and traitors live

@ChickenPwny @flexghost

I saw more confederate flags in a hour drive in South Eastern PA than a weekend driving back roads in SC.

@marq @ChickenPwny @flexghost Proof it's all about white supremacists solidarity and not about southern heritage.
@marq @ChickenPwny @flexghost there's a reason they call it Pennsyltucky
@flexghost Imagine making this a priority when people can't afford food, housing, and medical care - not to mention kids being shot in their schools. These are not serious people.
@patricks @flexghost they're very serious, they just have very specific priorities
@flexghost in NC participation trophies are bad for children, but guns, the leading cause of death for children are OK? Make this make sense!

@kcwsny @flexghost

The only way to make it make sense is to cause you a few traumatic brain injuries. This is inadvisable.

@flexghost imagine how much they could improve peopleโ€™s lives if instead of wasting time on this, they legislated anything that actually mattered
@Haste @flexghost
They're republicans, what'cha expect? Economic, shared prosperity and none of their "eW ThIS Is WOKE" bullshit sentiment?

@flexghost

NC here. Our repugs suck as bad as the rest.

They like to blame the people who received the trophies for society's woes, and not the people who handed them out. Either way, there are way bigger issues they're ignoring.

Burn all things confederacy.

@flexghost they should pull a Utah and put beehives on their flag

@daniel_bohrer @flexghost

Or just a drunken moonshiner like on a bottle of Mtn Dew from the 70s. Like this one. I found one of these as a kid in much, much better condition. In the late 90s lol.

@flexghost We have to do everything we can do to keep the magagop majority from reeking havoc on NC.Time for every Republican woman to acknowledge that SHE is affected by all the same new stupid laws as Dems are. Murder charges for docs helping women in crisis..trying to remove contraception..
Many stupid Republican ideas affect ALL of us.getting rid of social sec/Medicare,now telling us trophies are a no. How dare they order us around?! Letโ€™s show some backbone.
@flexghost
I've always thought that statues of Confederate generals as just really big 2nd place trophies

@flexghost

"Lissen heer chillinz, yew aint not gunna get no loozer troffies. Yew is gunna hafta win iffin yews wants a troffie. Now, raise your hands in the salute and sing the Confederate Anthem, to celebrate the war of northern aggression that we started but couldn't win. Do it or yew is a traitorz!"

@Bullix @flexghost
Tank Gawd fur mi nue rednik spil chikr
@flexghost WTF? really, couldn't they address healthcare, housing, mass transit or maybe climate change ???
@LenaLia nope! Too woke.
@flexghost silly me, what am i thinking ?
@flexghost Are there any plans for an amendment that would require players on the 2003 and 2015 Panthers teams to set an example for the kids by refunding their Superbowl bonuses?
@flexghost fuck that flag, and all bad flags in the world like naziโ€™s flag or the soviet flag
@flexghost
They sure are mad at those Boomers who pushed participation trophies on us...

@jack_of_sandwich those trophies turned my bi

There no joke.

@flexghost Why do Republicans love pregnant women, but hate children so?
@flexghost gots damb FG

@flexghost Having addressed all the other legislative issues on their agenda, they had time for something as superfluous as intramural sports regulation?

Impressive.

@flexghost
That is not now, and never has been, the North Carolina state flag. I am not defending the treasonous, Confederate enslaving states that attempted to secede. I am merely noting an historical fact.
@flexghost I wonder if theyโ€™re aware how many militaries have given participation pins, patches, etc., just for being present in any capacity in a campaign. How long before they pass legislation hauling that stuff back from the โ€˜losersโ€™ who were awarded them?
